When using /dev/null as a destination on Solaris 8 (sparc) with syslog-ng 1.6.7 the perms of /dev/null get messed up:
$ ls -l /dev/null lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 27 Apr 19 2003 /dev/null -> ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null $ ls -l /devices/pseudo/mm@0:null crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 2 Oct 16 18:27 /devices/pseudo/mm@0:null
I thought this was addressed at some point, was that only on Linux perhaps?
I'm *sure* I remember doing somesuch on SCO Open Server 5.0 in 1996 (or was it AT&T SVR4?) It's always surprised me pleasantly since on RH Linux, (been using it since 7.2) that I *can't* wipe out /dev/null by writing to it as root. But then again, you can't compare an Alfa Romeo 147 with a 33 boxer. --Tonni -- Mail: tonye@billy.demon.nl http://www.billy.demon.nl
